Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Are bottle caps recyclable?

Metal screw-top lids from glass jars and bottles can stay on when you put them in the yellow bin. Small plastic caps on plastic bottles should generally be removed, as they're often a different plastic type. Large plastic lids from takeaway containers are fine in recycling.

What happens if I miss bin night?

Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.

Can I get a larger bin?

Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
